dlebury and c. II. Lane of Cornwall.
The testimony is not all in yet. Mr..
Chld's counsel are Messrs. Stewart &
Wilds and Hon. Henry Ballard of Bur-
lington and w. H. Bliss, Esq, appeared
for the administrators, Messrs. j. F.
Cotton and ii. b. Hagar.
The old cotton-mill property in this
village has been leased to Messrs. Dove
and Bicknell, the former of Andover,
Mass, and the latter of Boston. The
term of the lease is year and the lessees
have already taken possession. Mr..
Fowle of Boston, who succeeded to the
Cutter Marble company's lease, has paid
the judgment of the county court for
rent; consequently the sale of the mar
BILE and other property on the premises,
which has been advertised for some time
past, is off. No one in town knows what
the lessees intend to do, though there are
rumors that the mill and quarry will be
started up.
Those who attended the concert at the
town hall on Tuesday evening were well
pleased with the entertainment afforded,
and well they might be. All the per-
formers acquitted themselves admirably.
The artists taking part were: Miss
Louise Baldwin, soprano; Miss Hattie G.
McLain, contralto; Mr.. Thomas Impett,
tenor; Mr.. G. ). Cornell, bass; Mr..
Wulf Fries, cello, and Mrs. G.. ID. Miner,
pianist. The programme was varied and
was made up of a high order of music.
The audience, which was of fair size,
frequently manifested by applause their
appreciation of the artists efforts.
a choral society is being formed here
for the advanced study of music, which
Mr.. c. S. Cornell of Burlington will con-
duct. The meetings, which will be 20 in
number, are to be held at the Y. NJ C. A.
hall and at the close there will be a con-
cert for the benefit of the association. 1t
was at first thought that the membership
tickets could be sold at Sl.50; but the
management find that it will be necessary
to make the price 81 in order to cover
expenses. The first meeting will be held
next Monday evening at Z 80 o'clock,
when an organization will be effected;
and every one who has Joined or wishes
to join is requested to be present. The
old choral society contained number of
out-of-town singers; it is hoped that they
and their friends in adjoining towns will

the meetings will be both enjoyable and
profitable.
The entertainment given by the young
people of the Catholic church at the
town hall on Thanksgiving evening was
a success, both financially and in all 9TH
er respects. The amateur actors did their
work unusually and remarkably well. not
only in the drama proper, but also in the
laughable after-piece. The vocal solo by
Mrs. j. A. Donahue was encored. The
piano Accomplishments by Mrs. DR.. Di-
onne of Burlington. and a solo by the
same lady, were given with excellent eff
feet. MIR. j. B. Cobb came in for his gem
erous share of applause for his well-eX-
ecuted cornet solo. Too much praise can
not be given Miss Lizzie O'Leary. to
whose good taste and judgment and
painstaking in the preparation of the ex-
hibition and the training of the partici-
pants, much, if not most, of its success
is due. The proceeds, netting above 500,
are for the benefit of the Catholic church
| IN t,n-
Orwell and Bristol to play.
The Y. NJ. c. A. fair at the rooms on
Wednesday evening was attended by
about as many as the available space
would hold. All the attractions promised
were to be seen and every feature proved
equal to expectations. The supper served
was all that could have been desired and
the tables were well patronized, as were
the various stands for the sale of fancy
articles, candy, etc., in the main hall. A
rough estimate yesterday placed the net
proceeds at about Sl3O. However. some
very desirable articles remain unsold, and
for the convenience of those who could
not attend the fair, and for ladies who
may drive into town, the articles will be
on sale Saturday and Monday, Dec. 3 and
., at the association parlor from II a. IN.
to p. m. Copies of "Association It'd
bits will also be for sale for % cents
apiece. The recipes in this book are fur
nished by ladies of Middlebury, whose
names are attached to each, and thus are
a guarantee of their worth. Every fam
lily ought to have copy, as it contains
choice recipes such as cannot be obtained
from ordinary cook-books.
